You’ll usually encounter at least one story about a celebrity breakup when you catch up on the latest, star-studded gossip. A relationship ending will make the news, but what about the couples that manage to stick together? Shouldn’t they receive their fair share of attention? Of course, they should! So, let’s celebrate five celebrity couples who have stayed together in this fickle industry.
Dolly Parton & Carl Dean
Only half of this pairing has ever appeared on television or won awards. Still, Dolly and Carl qualify as a celebrity couple by any standard. She’s famous for being a legendary, singer, songwriter, actress, philanthropist, and all-around mensch. There’s also her ability to build a fanbase that encompasses people from every generation. He’s famous for his ability to evade the spotlight like a southern-fried ninja.
Are they an opposites attract couple? Who knows? Dolly respects Carl’s desire for privacy and rarely reveals much about him. What is clear is that they’ve made their love last for more than 50 years.
Beyonce & Jay-Z
Who is the celebrity, power couple? Nobody comes close to Beyonce and Jay-Z when it comes to money, influence, and star power. The pair have built a multi-billion dollar brand as a celebrity couple and as individuals. What’s even more noteworthy is that they have controlled the narrative all along. Anything you know about Jay and Bey, you know because they probably put that information out there.
That isn’t to say there’s never been a scandal. There was the infamous elevator incident with Beyonce’s sis, Solange. And, that cheating scandal was hard to miss considering Beyonce memorialized it in her Brilliant album, Lemonade.
Fast forward to now, and drama seems to be a thing of the past. They’ve been together for nearly a quarter of a century at this point! The couple appears to be rock solid, and ready to take on the world alongside their three children.
John Krasinski & Emily Blunt
John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are celebrating 14 years of wedded bliss this year and have been together since 2008. In their case, working together may be key to sticking it out for the long term. The pair starred together in the critically acclaimed horror trilogy, A Quiet Place. They’ve also collaborated on two lovely daughters.
Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake
When it was revealed that Justin behaved like a real card during his relationship with Brittney Spears, many of us were hit right in the parasocial feels. That said, his long-lasting relationship and marriage to Jessica Biel may be proof that he’s mended his womanizing ways. Although, they’ve hit a few rocky patches themselves.
Despite the drama, Jessica and Justin have been together for nearly sixteen years and married for over a decade. They share two kids and split their time between Hollywood and Montana.
Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively
Ryan and Blake met in 2010, began dating in 2011, and tied the knot just a year after that. Since then, they’ve welcomed four beautiful kids. These two have also kept the rest of us in stitches with their adorable jabs at one another on social media and tongue-in-cheek sense of humor about life, celebrity, parenthood, and their relationship.
What’s The Secret?
It’s difficult to tell what makes a celebrity match last so long. There are so many seemingly rocky relationships that last for years, and solid unions that inexplicably crumble. If you’re interested in long-lasting love, forget about emulating stars. Instead, give Hily a try. Because, ultimately, the path to a forever kind of love is compatibility, communication, and hard work.
